SPECIFICATION FOR
SPROCKETS FOR SUGAR INDUSTRY
.

1. Scope - Specifies materials, dimensions and other requirements for sprockets for bagasse, carrier
cane carrier and feeder table chains used in sugar industry. This standard is applicable for sprocket
of head shaft, tail shaft and idler shaft.

2. Material
2.1 Any of the following materials may be used in the manufacture of sprockets.

2.1.1 Cast steel conforming to Grade 20-40 of IS :1030-1982 ’ Specification for carbon steel casting:
for general engineering purposes ( third revision )‘.

2.1.2 For fabricated steel sprockets, mild steel conforming to IS : 226-1975 ’ Specification fo
structural steel ( standard quality ) ( fifth revision ) ‘, may be used.

3. Terminology -The following definitions shall apply for the purpose of this standard.

3.1 Pitch Diameter - Diameter of the pitch circle that passes through the centres of the link pins as tht
chain is wrapped on the sprocket.
Chain pitch
Therefore, the pitch diameter =
Sin ( 180” + Number of teeth )

3.2 Bottom Diameter - Diameter of a circle tangent to the curve, called the seating curve, at the
bottom of the tooth gap. It is equivalent to the pitch diameter minus the diameter of the roller.

3.3 Outside Diameter - Diameter of the tips of teeth and is

= Chain pitch [ 06 + Cot ( 180” i Number of teeth) ]

I. Dimensions
1.1 The bore of the sprocket shall be to suit the diameter of the solid shaft on which the sprocket is
:o be fitted.

1.2 The sprocket may have 12, 14 or 16 teeth.

1.3 The tooth profile of the sprockets shall be to suit the dimensions of cane carrier chain as specified
n IS : 8465-1977 * Specification for cane carrier chains’ and bagasse carrier chains in accordance with
S : 8466-1977 ’ Specification for bagasse carrier chains’.

1.4 The sprockets shall be to suit 150 mm pitch chain having rollers of 75 mm diameter and 35 mm
ntidth.

1.5 The finished dimensions of the sprockets shall be as given in Table 1.
